SuShe clearly did not feel this way, according to a series of retweets, and the decision to lawyer up with Allred.

"I did not encourage, nor consent, to Mr. Pulev grabbing my face, kissing me, or grabbing my backside," SuShe said at a news conference. "I was there at the event, covering the match as a professional member of the press."

Reporters asked where the line is in situations where, like Pulev, he may consider the reporter a friend.

"Even if it were a situation where he was her friend, which he was not, he would still need permission to kiss her on the lips," Allred said. "A woman has the right to consent or say no. She was doing her job."
